Oscar Hammerstein II - I Whistle a Happy Tune lyrics

[Anna:] Whenever I feel afraid I hold my head erect And whistle a happy tune So no one will suspect I'm Afraid While shivering in my shoes I strike a careless pose And whistle a happy tune And no one ever knows I'm afraid The result of this deception Is very strange to tell For when I fool the people I fear I fool myself as well! I whistle a happy tune And ev'ry single time The happiness in the tune Convinces me that I'm not afraid Make believe you're brave And the trick will take you far You may be as brave As you make believe you are [Louis and Anna whistle the tune of "Make believe you're brave And the trick will take you far".] [Anna:] You may be as brave As you make believe you are! [Louis:] [Spoken] I think it is a very good idea, mother, a very good idea! [Anna:] Yes, it is a good idea, isn't it! [Louis:] I do think I shall never be afraid again! [Anna:] Good!!! [Sung] [Louis and Anna:] The result of this deception Is very strange to tell For when I fool the people I fear I fool myself as well! I whistle a happy tune And ev'ry single time The happiness in the tune Convinces me that I'm not afraid Make believe you're brave And the trick will take you far You may be as brave As you make believe you are You may be as brave As you make believe you are!
